"I highly recommend it. Theater families don't get any more interesting, and it's a true tale well told." -- Robert Osborne, The Hollywood Reporter
"A diligent researcher and a perceptive, graceful writer" -- Kevin Thomas, The Los Angeles Times
"A splendid bio" -- Playbill
"Bliss for buffs" -- Toronto Globe & Mail
“The famous Bennett family has long been the most neglected of acting dynasties, but Brian Kellow has successfully remedied that problem. He covers father (Richard), famous daughters (Joan and Constance) and forgotten daughter (Barbara) with equal balance and insight. He is particularly astute on the remarkable career of Joan, several of whose movies have become staples in academic instruction. This is a valuable book about important players in film and theatre history.”
--Jeanine Basinger, author of American Cinema: One Hundred Years of Filmmaking and Silent Stars
